Created attachment 114487 [details] [review] Bug 27263: Link to preferences mentioned in system preference descriptions This patch attempts to locate all references to system preference names in various system preference descriptions and link those preference names to a search for that preference. This will allow the user to easily jump between preferences which are related or depend on each other. To test, apply the patch go to Administration -> System preferences. - Open each preference category and confirm that the page loads without error. - Test any system preference links you find to confirm that they work correctly. This is very handy and will save a lot of time! There is a JS error when you select the tab 'Searching' but it is unrelated so I filed Bug 27336 Created attachment 114828 [details] [review] Bug 27263: Link to preferences mentioned in system preference descriptions This patch attempts to locate all references to system preference names in various system preference descriptions and link those preference names to a search for that preference.

Signed-off-by: Lucas Gass <lucas@bywatersolutions.com> Signed-off-by: Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer.83@web.de> I really like this. I was wondering if it would be better if we had an "exact match" result, only displaying the one preference. But I think as it currently works it has the advantage of helping to discover other related preferences that need to be set/taken a look at. Pushed to master for 21.05, thanks to everybody involved!
